A person with his ear to the ground, sees a huge stone strikethe concrete pavement. A moment later two sounds are heard from theimpact: one travels n the air and the other in the concrete, andthey are 2.2 s apart. How far away did the impact occur?
*The speed of sound for air is 343 m/s, for concrete˜3000.
Please show how you set up the problem and how you got youranswer.

Answer:

852.014 m

Explanation:

The speed of sound in air = 343 m/s = [tex]v_a[/tex]

The speed of sound in concrete = 3000 m/s = [tex]v_c[/tex]

The distance the sound traveled = s

Time between the sounds heard  = 2.2 seconds

Time = Distance / Speed

Time taken by sound travel through air

[tex]\frac{s}{v_a}=\frac{s}{343}[/tex]

Time taken by sound travel through concrete

[tex]\frac{s}{v_c}=\frac{s}{3000}[/tex]

So,

[tex]\frac{s}{343}-\frac{s}{3000}=2.2\\\Rightarrow \frac{3000s-343s}{1029000}=2.2\\\Rightarrow \frac{2657s}{1029000}=2.2\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{1029000\times 2.2}{2657}\\\Rightarrow s=852.014\ m[/tex]

The impact occurs 852.014 m away from the person.

[tex]D= \frac{2.2}{0.002582} = 852 m[/tex]The impact that occurred when one travels in the air and the other in the concrete, and they are 2.2 s apart is [tex]852m[/tex] away .

What is sounds?

Sound can be regarded as a vibration that propagates through a transmission medium.

We were given the speed of sound for air as [tex]3000m/s[/tex]

Let the speed of sound in concrete be [tex](Vs) = 3000 m/s[/tex]

Let the speed of sound in air be[tex](Vi) = 343 m/s[/tex]

Since we know that Time is the ratio of distance per time = [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]

The we can substitute the values as:

Time for traveling in the [tex]air = D/343= 0.00291D[/tex] .....eqn(1)

Time for traveling in the [tex]concrete=D/3000= 0.000333 D[/tex].......eqn(2)

Then the difference between the two equation will gives us the impact that occur between them which is

[tex](0.00291D - 0.000333 D )= 2.2 secs[/tex]

[tex]0.002582 D= 2.2\\\\\\ D= \frac{2.2}{0.002582}[/tex]

Therefore, impact that occurred is 852 m away.
